After being told it was “all in her head,” Giusiana never stopped advocating for herself. At 19, she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome , and at 21 with Andersen–Tawil Syndrome , finally giving a name to what her body had known all along. Today, she also lives with a tethered spinal cord. Now a artist , rare disease advocate , motivational speaker , and Ms. Wheelchair Washington USA , Giusiana uses her platform to challenge misconceptions around disability and share a powerful truth: “Rare isn’t rare.” In this episode, Giusiana opens up about growing up without answers, the emotional toll of not being believed, and how self-advocacy became her lifeline. She also shares how art, purpose, and resilience continue to shape her journey — including her upcoming path to Ms. Wheelchair USA 2026 and her artwork being featured at the Kennedy Center . This is a story about finding your voice, demanding to be heard, and choosing to live fully — even when the world doesn’t make it easy. 🎧 Press play and meet Giusiana Prosser .","meta_description":"At just 12 years old, Giusiana Prosser began experiencing medical symptoms that would change her life — symptoms that were dismissed, minimized, and misun…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4018,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-wheelchair-roundtable-atp-end-user-perspective-7420120/episodes/rare-isn-t-rare-with-giusiana-prosser/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-wheelchair-roundtable-atp-end-user-perspective-7420120/rare-isn-t-rare-with-giusiana-prosser.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
